Scenario 2: Kustomize

Deploy podinfo using a Kustomize overlay from a Git repository

Deploy podinfo using the Kustomization at github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo//kustomize. A Flux GitRepository serves the repository content, and the Component selects the kustomize subdirectory as its source path.

1. Create the Flux GitRepository

# podinfo-git-source.yaml
---
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: podinfo
spec:
  interval: 5m
  url: https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo
  ref:
    branch: master

kubectl apply -f podinfo-git-source.yaml

2. Create the Component

# podinfo-kustomize.yaml
---
apiVersion: core.cs.sap.com/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: podinfo
  namespace: default
spec:
  sourceRef:
    fluxGitRepository:
      name: podinfo
  path: kustomize

kubectl apply -f podinfo-kustomize.yaml

3. Verify

kubectl get component podinfo
kubectl get pods -l app=podinfo

4. Cleanup

kubectl delete component podinfo
kubectl delete gitrepository podinfo
